Legal claims defining the scope of protection. Each claim is shown in both the original legal language and a plain English translation.
1. An information processing device comprising: a display; at least one hardware processor that is coupled to a speaker and a user input device, the at least one hardware processor configured to: output, to the display for display thereon, a home screen that includes a plurality of images that are individually selectable by a user of the information processing device; process a scroll operation that is provided to the home screen and scroll through the home screen and the included plurality of images that are part of the home screen; while the home screen is being displayed on the display, output, to the speaker, a reproduction of back ground music (BGM), wherein the reproduction of the BGM is output regardless of the scroll operation; and as a result of processing the scroll operation to scroll through the home screen, modify a part of the BGM being reproduced based on the scroll operation, wherein modification of the part of the BGM includes modification of the reproduction speed and/or the volume of the BGM based on the speed of the scroll operation.
This invention relates to an information processing device with a display, speaker, and user input device, designed to enhance user interaction with a home screen interface. The device displays a home screen featuring multiple selectable images, allowing users to scroll through them. While the home screen is displayed, background music (BGM) is continuously played through the speaker, unaffected by scrolling. However, the device dynamically modifies the BGM in response to scrolling speed. Specifically, the reproduction speed and/or volume of the BGM adjusts based on how fast the user scrolls. For example, faster scrolling may increase playback speed or volume, while slower scrolling may decrease these parameters. This creates an interactive audio experience that responds to user input, making navigation more engaging. The system ensures the BGM remains audible regardless of scrolling but adapts to the user's actions to provide a more immersive interface. The hardware processor handles all these functions, integrating display output, input processing, and audio adjustments seamlessly. This approach improves user engagement by linking visual navigation with real-time audio feedback.
2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one hardware processor is further configured to process a selection of one of a plurality of different BGMs, and set the BGM to be reproduced based on the selection.
This invention relates to an information processing device designed to enhance user experience by dynamically adjusting background music (BGM) during content playback. The device addresses the problem of static or irrelevant background music that fails to adapt to changing content or user preferences, leading to a suboptimal viewing or listening experience. The device includes at least one hardware processor configured to reproduce BGM during playback of content, such as video or audio. The processor monitors the content in real-time to detect changes in its characteristics, such as scene transitions, audio volume, or emotional tone. Based on these detected changes, the processor dynamically adjusts the BGM's volume, tempo, or other attributes to maintain harmony with the content. For example, if the content volume increases, the BGM volume may be lowered to avoid interference. Additionally, the device allows users to select from a plurality of different BGM options. The processor processes this selection and sets the chosen BGM to be reproduced, ensuring the user's preferred music is integrated seamlessly with the content. The system may also include a storage unit to store multiple BGM options and a display unit to present the selection interface to the user. This invention improves user engagement by providing adaptive and personalized background music that enhances content consumption without manual adjustments.
3. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one hardware processor is further configured to: in a state where one or a plurality of setting items concerning a user interface are collected into a group, receive selection of one group from a plurality of groups, wherein sound is output corresponding to the received selection of one group from the plurality of groups.
This invention relates to an information processing device that enhances user interface (UI) navigation through auditory feedback. The device includes a hardware processor configured to manage UI settings, where multiple UI-related setting items are organized into groups. When a user selects a group from the available options, the device outputs a corresponding sound, providing auditory confirmation of the selection. This feature improves accessibility and user experience by allowing users to identify selected groups without relying solely on visual feedback. The system may also include additional functionalities, such as adjusting UI settings based on user input or dynamically updating groups in response to changes in the system or user preferences. The auditory feedback ensures that users can efficiently navigate and interact with the interface, particularly in scenarios where visual attention may be divided or limited. The invention aims to streamline UI management by combining related settings into logical groups and providing immediate auditory confirmation, reducing the cognitive load associated with navigating complex interfaces.
4. The information processing device according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one hardware processor is further configured to acquire, from another device through communication, a raw material for the user interface corresponding to the group.
This invention relates to information processing devices that manage user interfaces for groups of users. The problem addressed is the need to efficiently provide and customize user interfaces for different user groups, particularly by acquiring and processing raw materials (such as interface elements, templates, or data) from external sources. The device includes at least one hardware processor configured to generate a user interface for a specific group of users based on predefined criteria. Additionally, the processor acquires raw materials for the user interface from another device via communication. These raw materials may include interface components, data, or templates that are necessary to construct or customize the user interface for the group. The device ensures that the user interface is dynamically adapted to the group's needs by integrating externally sourced materials, improving flexibility and scalability in user interface management. The system may also include features for processing and organizing these raw materials to ensure they are properly integrated into the user interface. The overall solution enhances the ability to deliver tailored user experiences by leveraging external resources efficiently.
5. An information processing system comprising: a display; at least one user input device configured to receive inputs provided by a user; at least one speaker configured to output sounds; at least one hardware processor that is coupled to the speaker and the user input device, the at least one hardware processor configured to: output, to the display for display thereon, a home screen that includes a plurality of images that are individually selectable by a user of the information processing device; process a scroll operation that is provided to the home screen and scroll through the home screen and the included plurality of images that are part of the home screen; while the home screen is being displayed on the display, output, to the speaker, a reproduction of back ground music (BGM), wherein the reproduction of the BGM is output regardless of the scroll operation; and as a result of processing the scroll operation to scroll through the home screen, modify, based on the scroll operation, how a part of the BGM is being reproduced while the home screen is being displayed, wherein modification of the part of the BGM includes modification of the reproduction speed and/or the volume of the BGM based on the speed of the scroll operation.
An information processing system includes a display, user input devices, speakers, and a hardware processor. The system displays a home screen with selectable images, allowing users to scroll through them.
